Lobecraft is a free resource for anyone researching ear and nose piercings. Keeping this site running and producing quality content takes time and money. To support that, we earn revenue through advertising and, in some cases, affiliate partnerships.
Here’s how that works.
How We Earn Revenue
Google AdSense: We display ads on our site through Google’s AdSense program. These are the banner and display ads you may see while browsing. We earn a small amount when these ads are viewed or clicked.
Affiliate Links: Certain articles may include links to products – things like aftercare solutions, jewelry or tools. If you click one of those links and buy something, we may earn a commission from the retailer.
FTC Disclosure: Per the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements, we are required to disclose material connections between Lobecraft and any company whose products or services we reference. This page, along with disclosures within individual articles, serves that purpose.
What This Means for You
Using an affiliate link never increases the price you pay. The commission is paid by the retailer, not by you.
We only include affiliate links for products and services we consider genuinely useful for our readers. If we wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it to a friend, it won’t appear on Lobecraft.
Affiliate partnerships have no bearing on what we write. Our content is developed independently, and no brand or retailer has editorial input on our articles.
Google AdSense
Google AdSense is a third-party ad network. Google may show you personalized ads based on your browsing activity across the web, or non-personalized ads based on the topic of the page you’re reading.
For details on how Google serves ads and uses your data, visit Google’s Advertising Policies. To manage your ad preferences, go to Google Ad Settings.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Articles that contain affiliate links will include a note – typically near the beginning of the post or alongside the link itself. We aim to make these disclosures clear so you always know when a link may generate a commission for us.
When in doubt, assume any product link could be an affiliate link.
